I accepted the dark style and violence I loved in them. I accepted it all. Through this I feel that this has been such a great spiritual experience and I have learned so much about myself by letting go of the "spiritual" and just allowing my desires to rule and observing where they take me. I care little about aliens and most of what this site talks about incessantly and just find my self simply sitting in aware silence-- quiet.
I think you have to work with your self, right where you are, right as you are.
I think what is called "spirituality" should help one to have this general orientation and attitude.
Though I think we can develop concepts of what it means to be "spiritual" that place unnecessary and unrealistic expectations upon ourselves, and instead of focusing on accepting *what is*, we focus on being something else, something better, something different.
Thanks for sharing, Marc.
